I have ACS Composite C7 Enhanced Splash Guards, painted Carbon Flash. Install is straightforward. Combined with full-length side skirts, they provide moderate protection from road rash.

I originally had ACS extended but then switched to their smaller "enhanced" version.

I've used the factory accessory guards front and rear on my car with excellent results.

The OEM guards are not wide enough. I got these online, carbon look, good quality, look good, work good, not stupid expensive. Not a big fan of the big circles around the wheel well.

I've the optional GM on my black St'ray and have been quite pleased. Btw, "Made in China" molded in. Go figure.

The ACS splash guards also extend farther down than the stock ones. They protect the leading edge of side skirts if you have or will get those..

I also went with the ACS extended guards and side skirts on both the '19 I traded and the '16 I still have. Very happy with how well they both look and function.

I have the same splash guards on mine and they work very well. I also combined the splash guards with a set of side skirts for my base Stingray.
